Shakespeare is tough! Don't be embarrassed if you have a hard time understanding it. Just DON'T GIVE UP! It's ok if you don't understand EVERY word; part of the beauty of Shakespeare is that you can read it thirty times and still notice something new. As you read more, the language will come more naturally. With your annotations, stop frequently to sum up what you've read. This will help you soooooo much!
Also, check out this website for help. It has plot summaries, character descriptions, explanations of theme and various literary elements, and SO MUCH MORE!
And look at this Shakespearean Dictionary for help with all of those Middle English words. Elizabethan language can be hard to understand for modern readers, but remember, Shakespeare wrote to the masses. He entertained monarchs and peasents alike. This is how people spoke!
